Considering what Haaretz is, banning them would not be a good idea. Even by the standards of this genocidal regime, that would be such a rare event of censoring. I think a more gradual and coercive strategy would be applied there. Deployment and outcome of that, if it were to be done, would be a case study.

The article's content evokes a bit of Orwelllian irony though, Minister of Communications threatening to ban the long(est?) standing news outlet.
Luckily the source tarball is the more important one to check, because that's the difference between backdooring one distribution and backdooring them all.

It's still not trivial because there might well be legitimate processing steps that are used to create the tarball, but it should be doable.
Not at all, you can't be at war all the time as people and ammo is limited resource. Just stick tight to definitions and observe for technicality BS. I.e. don't take "War on drugs" as a war, don't assume you are at war when the countries no longer fight but technically never signed a peace agreement etc.

I think I made it pretty clear that the exception for censorship is only when people are actively killing each other and this is because killing happens fast and its irreversible, therefore tolerances to tackle spread of false information is too small to be allowed.
Judging by the number of bad reviews, there are many more who don't.

Ask HN: How challengers survive from Confluent Freight Cluster?
In early May, Confluent released a new cluster mode entirely based on S3 called the [Freight Cluster](https://www.confluent.io/blog/introducing-confluent-cloud-freight-clusters/). This is certainly not good news for Confluent's challengers.

Warpstream: Most affected. Confluent has the first-mover advantage and simultaneously offers low-latency GP clusters as well as the Freight Cluster, which sacrifices latency for resilience and cost benefits. If Warpstream does not offer innovations that are significantly stronger than the Freight Cluster, it will be difficult to attract those users who are less sensitive to latency from Confluent.

Redpanda: A Kafka-compatible streaming system rewritten in C++. It utilizes a Thread per core architecture and a no JVM setup to achieve extremely low latency. For users who are focused on ultimate latency performance and prefer a no JVM Kafka system, the impact will be minimal.

AutoMQ: Forked Kafka's code and redesigned the storage layer to integrate both EBS and S3, without additional latency sacrifices when using S3 as the primary storage. In terms of storage architecture, it can simultaneously offer the advantages of both Confluent's GP cluster and Freight Cluster. Since it can still ensure low latency on top of low-cost, stateless brokers, it maintains certain advantages over Confluent's storage solutions and thus will not be affected by this release.
Or it is but real good project management is overlooked. Sure regulation doesn't help, but if you look at recent big infrastructure or software projects failures it doesn't explain all.

PNAC = Project for a New American Century [0]

Madeleine Albright should have been frog-marched into The Hague for justifying the US-sanctioned deaths of over 500,000 children. [1], [2]

The extremely deceptive, duplicitous individuals in PNAC are the ones who lied and scammed the American public into funding the destruction of Iraq, and countless other sovereign states in the Middle East, in order to be able to refactor those states according to American interests.

This is why the USA illegally occupies 1/3rd of Syria's sovereign territory (its oil fields) in order to deny the Syrian people the resources they need to rebuild their country.

It is why Libya was destroyed, why Iraq was destroyed, why Afghanistan was left in utter ruin. Its why Yemen suffered a genocide widely ignored by the West.

This is why the USA funds and supports ISIS as a "fifth column" (See also: Operation Gladio[3]) in the region, in order to fight wars without the approval of Congress. Note that Gladio is still in effect as official US military doctrine - under different names now, but the modern manifestations go all the way back to the original Gladio doctrine.

It would be very important for you to understand who PNAC are and what their very clearly stated intentions are - these are the fascist oligarchs whose dogma allows the Joint Chiefs of Staff to get away with mass murder. Real, actual mass murder, not hyperbole, of cultures deemed culturally inferior by Americas oligarchic ruling class.

Note that, even if Americans are not aware of these things, the rest of the world is, and is - I believe - a motivating force behind the rise of BRICS and the general anti-American sentiment that exists outside the Anglosphere bubble.

EU has a ban on RT on its books today, nearly every single democratic country is currently or has previously censored media. Without judging this specific action, saying that Israel is bad for doing something that every other country does or has done makes it seem like your problem is not really with what is being done, but your problem is with Israel. This may not be the case, you may not be aware that nearly every country engages in censorship of some form.

> Who do you think is going to be hurt?

By doing nothing? The consumer.

Voicing your disagreement with a company (whatever the reason) is necessary to get things to change.

Perhaps doing so will stop future decisions that hurt consumers and by consequence the developers, publishers etc.

I don't think it's too much to say they brought this on themselves by their actions and the backlash will cause them to think twice about doing the same in future.
Need for Speed: LLMs with C#, .NET 8 SSE and Channels, Llama3, and Fireworks.ai
Designing for safety helps a lot. Memory safe languages, reproducible builds, encoding safety properties in the type systems, and so on.

Sure, an attacker can subvert the types as well as the code, or use unsafe code, or try to tamper with infrastructure, but the more obvious it is that something is unsafe, the harder an attacker's job is.

The xz attacker introduced high-risk features over time and used them to justify weakening security controls and things that might have detected the problem. A culture of safety over the absolute best possible performance might help to make such attempts harder.
LLMs don’t ’replay variations on prior conversations’ though.

Predicting the probable token in a conversation requires predicting the probable subject of the conversation, predicting the interlocutors’ relationship and manner of speaking to one another, predicting the state of recollection, preference and taste of the speaker, predicting the speaker’s mental model…

If the LLM isn’t predicting all of those things then it will produce poor predictions of the next word; doing it well - and humans tend to agree that in a vast array of cases state of the art LLMs do predict tokens very well - requires that prediction model to predict all that context as well.
Not all documents from the time period would've had such low quality though, and not everyone would want such quality in a modern document. If you want such an effect, it's always possible to add it later, but it's rather more difficult to remove it if it's baked into the font file.
I suppose the point is that even though any given instance of an error like this is overwhelmingly likely to be an innocent mistake, there is some significant probability that one or two such instances were introduced deliberately with plausible deniability. Although this amounts to little more than the claim that "sneaky people might be doing shady things, for all we know", which is true in most walks of life.
> Airliners and military planes have radar altimeters to measure height above ground when flying in IMC (low vis),

But the RA are used primarily in the later phases of the approach. The barometric altimeter setting remains vitally important throughout most IFR ops in all categories of aircraft. (Radar altimeters are a key component of the ground proximity warning system GPWS in transport aircraft.)

> while smaller planes typically fly VFR (based on visual rather than instruments).

General aviation aircraft are quite frequently well-equipped with instrumentation for IFR ops. I’ve flown approaches down to published minima in single engine aircraft and have (legally) departed in low IMC conditions that grounded Part 121 flights. (Not necessarily best judgement…but here to tell the tale that I’ve become wiser in older age…)

The moral high ground is for the rich and safe. Both Israel and the Palestinians are under real threats and thus do not care much for morality that is disconnected from PR.

Did some more tests and seems to be Telia doing the blocking at the ISP level. When I'm connected to the eduroam wifi network (I'm at a university) then I can get to all those sites. When I turn off wifi and use mobile data, via Telia, then they are blocked. If I use mobile data plus a VPN with the location set to Sweden, I can access the sites again. I have Tele2 as my ISP at home, will be interesting to see if that works or not.
We are already in 2024, and it appears that "vintage fashion style" is still prevalent. In 2024, fashion trends will draw inspiration from the past, including Y2K aesthetics and trippy vintage patterns from the 1980s. Furthermore, fashion experts believe retro styles will continue to dominate runways and headlines.

The result looks like this: https://tselai.com/data/graph.png

The convenient thing is that each node in the execution graph is in a different environment. Some are shell scripts, a some are Python scripts while others are SQL queries.

I feel like I work in similar ways, if you ask my name there's a probability that I'll answer with the shorten version or the longer one pretty much randomly and there's no conscious effort about it.

While the LLMs do have hallucinations, basic stuff like this will never trigger any.

Where I feel the most differences are aren't in the token concept but rather on the deep reasoning (which we don't use as much in my opinion)

Thought experiment:

If there's a dead calm in the north is there also a dead calm in the south or is it possible that there's wind in the south while there is none in the north and vice versa?

Could it be that the electrical line would help to distribute power from areas with wind to areas w/o wind?

And could it be that distributing power like this is better than relying on batteries that will run out of juice sooner or later?

Isn't the net more resilliant if I can distribute the power from where it's generated to where I need it and only rely on batteries in rare situations where there is no wind in all of Germany?
Not really. Compromise and nuance have always been necessary features of democracies. This has also frequently been seized upon by autocratic apologists with this framing (“it’s actually worse here because of our idealism!”) and yet autocracies remain reliably worse off than democracies in practice.

As a STEM student who actually did a STEM job (basic science research) you have to love it to make a career out of it.

Standards are just that. You can say that you can standards are the 'minimum, not the maximum', but if the standard says only alphanumeric characters are permitted (and it turns out this isn't a very well written standard, so there's a load of discussion possible on this point), an implementation that allows non-alphanumeric characters is wrong.

As a thought experiment, how far beyond the 'maximum' is acceptable? Latin letters with diacritics? Cyrillic letters? Arabic letters? Chinese logographs? Emojis? Would you expect all systems which are standard-compliant to be able to handle all of the above?
This is two different parts of the system.

> No you "know" what your name is and you retrieve that information.

The LLM has this (literally - most of it is a key value store). It outputs a probability for all possible next tokens.

> It's infinitely different to rolling a dice and picking a name based on what number comes up

The sampling algorithm running the LLM then does this part, and adds randomness to make it more "creative".

So if you want factual information then don't be so random you skip over the right answer.
A number of crashed landers says otherwise.

But these days, we have established infrastructure, to manage a lot of the things that the Apollo guys needed to construct from whole cloth.

Also, the way that SpaceX does research is highly effective (and inflammable). Failing fast works, as long as we are set up to learn the lessons, and avoid doing things like sticking people on top of unverified tech.

There was an interview, recently with either Ben Nelson, or his predecessor, where they mentioned that NASA (or its directly-managed contractors) would never have been allowed to blow up a whole bunch of boosters, just to finally arrive at a design that normalizes what used to be considered impossible. On the first crash, he would have been hauled up in front of a Senate investigation committee, and forced to explain why it would never happen again.

Wrong. If you really want to get pedantic, EM forces affect everything the same way (in line with Newton's third law). So you can have an argument for both sides. But preferring one will always be wrong. Especially if you disregard outcomes that can be felt by humans as you did.

I do wonder, regarding the hydrostor approach, if the stored energy (theoretical best, excluding all losses) is 2x the amount that would be stored if it was just the water head (mass x height), with air displacement served by an open connection to the surface, or if there can be more to it:

Constant volume CAES would store energy without any water lift involved, and with water mediated constant pressure CAES the lifted water is added to the amount of energy contained in the "air spring". But that's balanced at equal force in the force x surface area x underground reservoir level system. My bird's eye view understanding suggests that it would come down to 2x the amount of energy stored in either (minus losses, of course) due to the balance. Is that the maximum energy a water-column mediated constant pressure A-CAES could hold, per water displacement volume x head height, or am I missing something? That 2x would surely be an improvement over conventional mineshaft pumped hydro, but it would also define a somewhat sobering limit to the amount of theoretical best case capacity.

Minor but perhaps very relevant detail: afaik, or rather as far as I don't know, hydrostore aims at a shaft depth equivalent to a pressure either right below of where pure CO2 would liquefy, or right above where that happens (no idea about the boiling points of N2, O2 and all those other main components of ambient air). I think the target depth is not quite that deep, as in carefully avoiding the "transliquid" range (as in transonic).
That’s exactly what happened, yeah. And warfare/foreign policy is not the only issue they gaslight us on.
I also agree the most important point is #3. It’s the part that requires true intelligence, the ability to understand human needs. AI, until AGI is real, is best positioned as a tool that accelerates human productivity.
> likely half those cars would have a fatality.

Half of which cars? Half of the posited 10,000 daily? Are you supposing that the bollards are installed in the middle of the carriageway, and painted the same colour as tarmac, and fitted with robotic machine-guns?

Bollards are not like trees. If you hit a tree in a car, the tree will not move. The tree will not fall over. TFA has some pictures of ancient cast-iron bollards, but those are only suitable for use with low-speed traffic in residential neighbourhoods. Modern bollards are made to have some 'give', as evidenced by the number of bollards I see that have indeed been knocked down. I have never seen a tree knocked down as the result of being hit by a motor-car.
